Stones (Dan Seals album)

Stones is the debut solo album released by Dan Seals after he parted ways from the duo England Dan & John Ford Coley to pursue a career in country music. It is his only album using the 'England Dan' moniker. Its singles "Late at Night", "Stones (Dig a Little Deeper)", and "Love Me Like the Last Time" failed to chart on the Country, although the 1st one was a minor pop hit, peaking at #57 on the Hot 100. This album was finally released on CD in 2006 on the Wounded Bird label.
